Some new décor and dishware for the apartment: free as Christmas gifts for Erica and I.

Some new décor and dishware for the first time in ???: priceless.

A massive breakfast and coffee from the corner deli: $10.

Catching up with my best friend after a week of not seeing each other: priceless.

A perfect FreelyBe holiday party: one ski lodge-themed venue and a group of our favorite people.

The embarrassment of later finding out I was socializing with a head covered in fake snow: priceless.

One commute to Pennsylvania: a train ticket, good music, and some boredom selfies.

The flexibility of being able to work remotely

so i guess it’s december.

I am in shock at how quickly this year has gone by. I guess the saying is true…time really does fly when you’re having fun. I must say that I’m sort of sad to see 2012 come to a close…

BUT. We’re not there yet! December is one of my favorite months of the year,

every other day.

My current work schedule has every other day of my life looking completely different from the last.

On the days that I work from home, I spend just about all of 9-5 sitting on the couch in front of my computer doing real estate admin work (and squeezing in some FreelyBe and blogging, of course).

halloweek.

I’m not really sure when Halloween became a week-long festivity, but that definitely seems to be the case this year. And I must say, I don’t hate it.

I was a boxer.

getting life in order.

Don’t you love those days/weeks where you can get regular old life things in order? I’m talking – paying the bills, doing laundry, errands, cleaning, etc.

Those days have been few and far between for me over the past couple of months, so it’s felt good to get things in order over the last few

rewind and fast forward.

Considering our launch party was the first large-scale FreelyBe event, you’d think the week leading up to it would be a complete nightmare of stress of problems. That’s what I was prepared for, at least. But thankfully…despite a few mishaps here and there…things were surprisingly smooth.

On Wednesday I made the selfish move of taking

first look at the freelybe launch party.

We did it!

FreelyBe is officially launched, and we couldn’t be more thrilled about it. Our launch party on Friday was a huge success, and we can’t thank our amazing sponsors, staff, and guests enough for being a part of it.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the photos taken in the One for
